    INHWE Mark WIP Another example of my artboard for a new branding project; INHWE is the International Network for Healthcare Workforce Education and is a new start-up organisation. My brief was to create a colourful, bold and stylish logo around the idea of networks, meetings and the world. When I start a branding project I tend to work in black and white and play around with shapes to see what sticks. I ofte...

    INHWE Logo Concepts WIP After I've experimented in black and white, I tend to add colour and typography to bring the logos to life. The client wanted to try and combine the abbreviation and organisation name, which was a challenge to say the least! I also had the brief of bright colours to stand out in the healthcare/pharmaceutical industry so I played around with really bright colour palettes and colours that could ...

    INHWE Logo This is the final concept. The client and I agreed to drop the abbreviation so not to overcrowd the logo. I experimented with using Fira Sans, Franklin Gothic and Poppins for the typeface but I felt Karla had the right amount of modernity and friendliness the logo required. Interestingly, this wasn't my favourite concept but my client's knowledge of the industry was far greater than mine so ...

    INHWE Leaflet David from INHWE wanted a leaflet designing that could be sent via email as well as printed off. I continued the brand from the logo and used the circle and olive brand elements throughout. I chose half of the boldest colours for the colour palette and tried to breathe life into a brainstorm by using circles and create more of an infographic feel.

    The Wrap Show logos I always start my logo development in black and white so to focus on combining typography with my initial marks.

    The Wrap Show logo We decided to develop three of the logos further and this was the first choice; a simple typography option using a bronze inspired colour palette. Bronze was a key colour in the brief as often the sling rings are this colour. By concentrating on only three logos, I had the opportunity to develop other mark options and play around with the colour palette.

    The Wrap Show logo v2 The second choice of the logo is bolder and based on the diagonal lines from a W and the curve from a S. Kathleen and Melissa liked this logo as it reminded them of a fingerprint. They were keen to create a brand that was still recognisable but could still change for different uses whether it was in print or on social media so I experimented with different ratios of the lines and curves and di...

    The Wrap Show logo v3 This is the final logo chosen to develop and was actually the concept chosen (with a slight tweak) by Kathleen and Melissa. The logo is inspired by an origami heart in a hexagon allowing for the possibility of repeat patterns and different infills. The colour scheme still inspired by bronze is softer and more romantic.

    The Wrap Show logo v3 alternative colours I'm a big fan of using a logo in many different ways (I wrote my dissertation on the London 2012 logo in 2008) but still making it recognisable and these are some ideas of how the Wrap logo could be used.

    Out Front! Artboard I thought I'd start to show more of my work in progress and how my art boards look in Illustrator as I'm developing ideas, so this is a screenshot of concepts for a new logo. Out Front! is a series of Jazz gigs and a festival happening in Derby over the next year. It's funded by the Arts Council and the name comes from a Jazz album by Jaki Byard. We wanted to take inspiration from the album ...
